Susan Howlett, Department of Pharmacology

A strong advocate and role model for all, but especially for women in science, Dr. Howlett, a professor in the Department of Pharmacology, is well-respected for her ability to provide a supportive, creative and fulfilling research environment for her students while at the same time coaching and mentoring them to excel in a highly competitive research environment. A former graduate student described it this way: 鈥淪he consistency exhibits genuine care for individual students鈥� careers and their growth as scientists,鈥� while another described her as 鈥渢he epitome of excellence in trainee supervision and mentorship.鈥� Dr. Howlett鈥檚 support for others extends beyond her own lab. When a close colleague became critically ill, she stepped in to pilipili漫画fully support his students to complete their studies, and then created the Greg Ferrier Award to recognize and honour his work. This devotion and recognition touched students and colleagues alike, making a strong impact on their own views of student supervision.
